NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets coaches, according to league sources.
NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.
Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots multiple draft picks because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents.
The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Tuesday that no official decision has been made and that the club has not been notified.
The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.
Goodell is expected to have a decision no later than Friday but that is not set in stone.
In other news, Tom Brady had his second child with another women. This time it wasn't a model, Oprah was the new mother. "It wasn't planned and now I have a black child and a white child. Many people have told me to put the white child up for adoption." When asked why not care for both new borns? "One child is hard enough to deal with and I rather stick with a child that has a future in sports than raise a child who has not future."
The Patriots already have enough problems with the NFL and now they will be faced with Brady's racist remarks that had Randy Moss furious after practice. One witness said that Moss couldn't control his anger so he went to his car and lighted up a "Joint".
Thats it from Patriots camp, we'll be back next week when we talk with head coach Bill Belichick and how the NFL has accused him of spying on Peyton Manning as he was showering during training camp. Why would Bill go to Indiana and spy on Peyton, in the shower? This team has many legal troubles heading their way folks.
